Projeto Portinari
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Composition in gray, green, rose, yellow, red, earthy, black and white. Smooth texture. Composition representing trunks of cut trees, fruits and plants scattered floor outdoor extending to the bottom of the composition. In the center, large cut tree trunk, suggesting a low and wide vertical cylinder. On the right, another piece of tree trunk, narrower and longer than the first diagonal from the left to the right, in perspective for background. On the left, one sees a branch of flowering plants, the bark of coconut half and four pears; closer to the center, a pineapple. The ground find themselves still scattered small stylized flowers, grass and plant clumps, and on the right there is a way of suggestion flanked on the left by trees of which only part of the stems are visible. There is no heaven represented in the composition which creates unique atmosphere in the work, as if the lanscape were being observed higher level, a "vol d'oiseau".
